Each Grappler has two sidewall designs so you can choose how your tires look. On the Trail Grappler one side has stylized lettering with V-shaped buttresses and the other has traditional lettering with flat buttresses. This feature was an engineering feat since even a small weight imbalance can cause unwanted vibrations. Nitto produces exceptionally uniform off-road tires even with different designs.

Tread Block Arrangement

A common complaint with mud terrain tires is their noise level. Nitto's engineers set out to design an aggressive -- and yet quiet -- off-road tire. Using 3D computer simulation, Nitto's engineers were able to systematically adjust the size, shape and position of the tread blocks. As a result, Nitto produced an off-road tire that is 34 per cent quieter at street speeds and 36 per cent quieter at highway speeds, compared to Nitto Mud Grappler

Durability

The 3-ply sidewall with a high turn-up construction acts as an extra layer of reinforcement to increase puncture resistance.
